has been in town this week looking up the
advantages of extending the Clarksburg

quiring much money, and will no doubt
be adopted and the matter carried onto
completion accordingly.

The REGISTERS special relative to the
hanging in eiiigy of Delegate kinscy was
not entirely correct. Two kids of opposite

the bridge Sunday evening, but II was
promptly cut down upon its discovery.
We can't tell whether Brother kinsey is
in the Legislature or Canada. 81 far rs be-
ing represented is concerned. He is not
doing his people justice, but no indecency
for us thank YOU We are not that kind
of Democrats We are all for Camden.
If this town don't beat the record for
